Appearing on “The Matt Barrie Show,” SEC Network’s Paul Finebaum said you have to seriously consider LSU in the discussion regarding the top team in the league.


TTT - While that may be true, Finebaum's real reason for doing this is to lather up LSU's next opponent Arkansas.

A week ago, he had serious concerns about LSU. Dude has a face for radio and a voice for print.

If LSU plays like we did this past week then yes we are the best team in the SEC. The question is if that team will show up every week.

Before week 1 he picked LSU to be his “letdown” team of the year. Probably took his victory lap after FSU

Now he wants to hop back on.

Who’s the real “letdown” team this year, Pawwwll?

Why do you make so many (bad) threads?

It’s true, but it’s also just as much about the other teams not playing well, as it is LSU being that good. Had it not been for Florida St, there would be little doubt, though.

It is possible that this team is one of the top teams in the country. FSU may have just been a fluke off day. We did look at least decent in the first half (still some issues in that first half like red zone offense and getting 3rd down stops on defense but that’s kind of to be expected in first games)

Time will tell and it’s too early to be making any claim like this.

tLSU roller coaster, not to be confused with aTm's

We've gone from panic 'we suck' in week 1 (we did suck) to best in the conference week 3 (St sucks).

Baws, it's somewhere in the middle. We still have lots to prove against real competition.

Depends on which version of JD we get.

If we get Saturdays version then LSU is damn near unstoppable. If we get a banged up or the bad JD, LSU can lose to anyone including bottom feeder SEC teams.

LOL Mississippi State is a joke. That was a bad team and LSU beat them accordingly. Arkansas is light years better than State and Ole Miss is better than Arkansas. And Missouri is no slouch having just beaten a ranked K. State team.

Point is LSU is still the team that got drummed in the 2nd half by FSU and is still playing with a mid level Pac 12 quarterback. I'm still prepping for 8-4. Losses to Ole Miss, Bama, possibly Missouri or Auburn.

Last week "LSU will be in a dog fight with MSU, they have problems"

This week "Is the LSU the best team in the SEC"

Got to love it

Newsflash. Finebaum says things to purposely get fans fired up.

Finebaum's real reason for doing this is to rile up Bama fans...

Fine baums doesn't have any real opinions. Like many others in media these days, his opinions depend on what will bring him more money.

Finebaum has some really bad takes. We did what we were supposed to and beat a pretty bad MSU team. I don’t think we should put ourselves ahead of UGA just yet. They were sleepwalking against SC and then absolutely manhandled them in the second half. If we can keep getting better and play 4 quarters of football each week we should be in the SECCG again this year. Just can’t have any 2nd half FSU performances.

Here comes the long anticipated Finebaum heel turn on Bama. He smells blood in the water.
